oops, I thought this was the TGIF thread..
But I read the article anyway.

Jb, you moving to Martin Co.? Do you do any work there?

Perception is reality. Reality is really reality. Ethics? Conflict of Interest?

Those stats paint a portrait of a very clear miscarriage of justice.

Innocent until proven guilty? Guilty until pled out?

What would Bobby Kennedy have thought?



thanks again JB........

This was a motion to suppress an illegal stop. Its the first one granted in Martin County in a very very long time. I was very very surprised the Judge granted it.

Nice peice of journalism. Too bad people would rather watch partisan infotainment instead of reading well researched articles about actual significant issues affecting large parts of our country

That reporter definitely got the blowback from that. I sadly believe when the majority of people in Martin read about this kind of racism, they will be very pleased.

I am happy to see that some investigative journalism still makes it way to the world locally and timely. The internet has definitely killed the newspaper and that was the traditional source of investigative journalism.
